Year



Contains information about the specific year covered in the span of the data request.  Attribute YearNumber can be used to parse the full response.  Summary fields represent the total or average for the portion of the year covered in the data request.  For instance if the StartTime = “2020-01-11T00:00:00-08:00” and the EndTime = “2020-08-13T00:00:00-08:00”, the summary fields will only return the total or average between the StartTime and EndTime and not for the full calendar year (in this case, 2020).

			

				
				
				
				
				

					
					

						
YearNumber

						
The specific year corresponding to the total or average for each summary output field.


Possible values: An integer such as 2020.  Possible range: 1998 to present year.

					

				

			

				
				
				
				
				

					
					

						
PartialYear

						
Attribute indicates to the client whether the period of measure includes all possible values in the specified summary YearNumber.  If the period of measure is complete, the attribute will not be returned.
